Glacier lifts
Glacier lift guide
Glacier lifts: In 2024 La Plagne’s lift company, SAP, installed the new Glacier gondola, creating a revised route to the high alpine terrain above Roche de Mio. The lift now runs via a mid-station at Col de Forcle before continuing up towards the Bellecôte glacier area, giving skiers, snowboarders and pedestrians easier access to the upper reaches of the resort.
The ‘glacier’ itself has receded significantly over recent decades, but the sector still offers high-altitude snow conditions and big-mountain scenery, especially when accessed from Plagne Centre via the Funiplagne and the Petite Rochette piste down to the mid-station.

Sort your La Plagne hire before you travel
Quick tip: The glacier side is one of the most spectacular parts of La Plagne, but it also makes sense to arrive with your gear already sorted. Booking online usually means better prices, better availability and a much smoother start once you get to resort.
Choose a shop close to where you’re staying so collection is quick and easy before heading up towards Roche de Mio and the new Glacier gondola.

Heading high above Roche de Mio? Make sure you’re covered
Quick tip: The glacier side still offers high-altitude terrain, big views and a more exposed mountain environment, so proper cover is worth sorting before your trip. In France, rescue and evacuation costs can be charged to you even on marked pistes.
Good ski insurance helps cover medical treatment, lift evacuation and cancellation if something goes wrong before or during your holiday.
